Last week, the New York Times published an article on Gun Tube, and T.R.R.X. Arms kind of featured in the

article. So when we sent that out on social media, most of our folks assumed that it was going to be

a fairly hostile article. But it wasn't. It was extremely neutral just describing something

with the reporter.

So this is a much bigger story than it was even just like yesterday or the day before.

Thank you for coming on.

Yeah.

Thanks for having me.

So yeah, my name is Thomas Gibbons-Nef.

I'm a reporter for the New York Times.

I currently cover gun culture and policy. I think that's the

official title. Yeah, before that, I was covering the war in Ukraine and then covering Afghanistan

as the Kabul Bureau Chief. And long before that, I was an enlisted marine infantryman. So, so yeah, and yeah, gun tube on the front page, which is pretty cool.

Yeah.

Now, when I first posted, you sent me a copy of the article, I think right after it launched.
